And I’ve spent so many years
Living life with all these fears
Of someone who would come my way
And steal my heart and walk away
And when you finally came
I let you in without a second guess
And the potential mess
That we create, the two of us
I still hold onto that
And I know I can’t begin
So tell me what you think I
Could’ve done to change your mind
'Cause I worked on myself so much, and
You left me behind
You left me behind
And still I put my faith
In you, and I
I couldn’t wait to give you all my trust again
I look past every consequence
But the bar you held me to
It kept me from reaching you
So I wait, overcompensate
Resentment turned into a trait I had
And this is the story that we never finished
And so tell me what you think I
Could’ve done to change your mind
'Cause I worked on myself so much, and
You left me behind
You’ll never find another one who
Works as hard as I did for you
Changes made, I watched us fade
You swore you would come back to me
Why did you have to let go?
What did you think that
To break my heart
A piece of yours
I opened up
gone forever
And every night I lie awake
for you
